Mr. Frank Gleeson:

In response to the question on farmers, we are clear that the scheme would have to be cash-neutral to the farmer. We do not want farmers to be penalised. The Government, farmers and retailers must put their heads together to figure out a rebate system that makes sense. It could definitely be done if we wanted to do it, but there must be a desire to fix it. I do not want to see disincentives for farmers. Ultimately the Government may face a small adjustment, but it is peanuts compared to the actual value of €150 million.
